Objectives and Contextualisation
The main objective of this module is to know the diversity of ways in which Children's and Young People's Literature materializes.
As part of these aproach, we will analyze the function of the image in literary productions, especially those where the interest of the authors focuses on formal materialization.
We will also reflect on the textuality of literary works and the narrative elements that can be explored.

A project or activity will be considered "plagiarized" when an author's text is presented as own without quoting the sources.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in any phase. Any work that includes AI-generated fragments will be considered a breach of academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the activity grade.
